It's weird. I don't want this fight to happen but I will watch it. What upsets me about it is that Manny will likely have at most 4 more fights in his career, and as one of the best fighters in the world I'd like to see him truly tested. Unfortunately I just don't see Shane posing Manny any real problem and therefore, this fight is a wasted opportunity.

I watched the Mosley/Mayweather fight again the other day and i distinctly remember Nazim Richardson telling Shane after the 10th that he wasn't going to watch Shane take those shots. Manny throws a great volume of punches and is so fast and accurate that I invisage Nazim pulling Shane out.
